Wong Cho Lam and Leanne Li, the beloved couple expecting their first child, have been busy preparing and sharing their joyful experiences as they await the arrival of their baby. Recently, the duo attended several public events where they openly discussed their preparations and the emotions surrounding this significant life change.
During one event, Leanne Li revealed her pregnancy is nearing its end, with the baby expected to arrive around March. She humorously expressed her excitement, stating, "How would you know?" when asked about the possibility of her having the baby on the same day as Wong Cho Lam's birthday, which is on March 23. Wong, echoing her sentiments, mentioned, "I actually want the baby to share the same birthday so we can celebrate together." Their playful banter highlighted their growing excitement and anticipation.
Leanne shared some relatable experiences about the ups and downs of pregnancy, such as feeling restless during sleepless nights due to the baby’s active movements. "Every night at three, the baby seems to throw parties, and I struggle to find comfortable sleeping positions," she joked. Wong showed his concern, often waking up worried about Leanne's discomfort, proving he’s fully engaged and supportive throughout this experience.
Not only are they preparing for the baby’s arrival, but they are also considering potential names. Wong humorously suggested, "It’s tough finding names with the surname Wong. I don't want names like ‘Roast’ or ‘Midnight Snack’ to come up!" Drawing laughter from Leanne, they agreed to temporarily refer to their bundle of joy as ‘Wong Ba’. Their dynamic filled the atmosphere with light-heartedness, illustrating how they cope with the challenges and joys of impending parenthood.
The couple has also been inundated with gifts from friends and family, which they have been sorting through as they prepare. They decided to keep the baby’s gender under wraps until birth y, as requested by Leanne’s grandmother. "I was very touched; initially, she wasn’t going to let me know," Wong revealed about learning the baby's sex. This decision has created suspense among their close friends, with many predicting whether they are having a son or daughter.
Leanne shared candid details about her cravings, saying, "I have experienced eating to the point of crying." Wong joked about how he has been gaining weight too due to all the food she has been indulging in, expressing joy at Leanne being able to enjoy her pregnancy without significant health issues. They were grateful she hasn’t experienced important challenges such as severe nausea or pregnancy diabetes, which allowed her to indulge more freely.
With various events on their calendar, Leanne mentioned this might be her last public appearance before going on maternity leave. She highlighted, “After this, it’s time for me to retreat and enjoy some quiet time before the baby arrives.” Wong assured everyone he would take parental leave and confirmed he has already arranged time off work to support Leanne when she delivers. "I plan to be there every step of the way and have even been practicing how to cut the umbilical cord," he said with amusement.
Overall, Wong Cho Lam and Leanne Li are embracing this life transition with humor, love, and anticipation. Their playful engagement with the pressures of impending parenthood paints the picture of a supportive partnership dedicated to welcoming their new family member. Amid their busy schedules, they cherish these moments, preparing not just for the birth but also for the joys and challenges of parenthood.
With the birth on the horizon, the couple will enjoy every moment of this beautiful chaotic preparation as they await their little one.
